Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Drain mandarin oranges and reserve juice. Zest limes, cut in half and juice. Stem and coarsely chop mint. Peel shallot and thinly slice. Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with half the lime zest and a pinch of pepper.

BLOOD ORANGE MOJITO
I created this blood orange mojito when I wanted to do a pomagranate mojito and my juice was not good. I had to substitute with another juice and I chose Blood orange juice. Then it was too sweet. I had to reduce the quantity of sugar.

Steps:
- Combine the sugar, lemon juice and mint leaves in a tall glass; mash with the back of a spoon.
- Mix in the rum and blood orange juice.
- Fill glass with ice.
- Top with a splash of ginger ale.
Tips:
- Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges will give your mojito the best flavor. If you can, use organic oranges to avoid pesticides and other chemicals.
- Choose a good quality rum. The rum is the main ingredient in a mojito, so it's important to choose one that you enjoy. Look for a light or white rum that is smooth and flavorful.
- Use fresh mint. Fresh mint is essential for a mojito. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't over-muddle the mint. Muddling the mint releases its flavor, but if you over-muddle it, it can make the mojito bitter.
- Add just enough simple syrup to taste. Simple syrup is used to sweeten the mojito, but you don't want to add too much or it will be too sweet. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve the mojito immediately. Mojitos are best enjoyed fresh. If you let them sit for too long, the mint will wilt and the flavor will fade.

The orange mojito is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a new cocktail to try, the orange mojito is a great option. With its combination of sweet, sour, and minty flavors, the orange mojito is sure to please everyone.
